I was completely underwhelmed with FarCry 2. It came very close to being a great game, but I think this game arrived tits up.
Is it just my monitor or does everything have some kind of wierd tint to it?
There seems to be an unbelievably limited number of women in this African world. Regular citizens running and screaming when firefights break out, or seeing them go about their lives when things were peaceful would have added alot of atmosphere to the game.
There are no people moving around trying to do ordinary things in a world that should be full of them.
"Patrol" parties are way too good at showing up when you are trying to stalk and snipe.
I never felt involved in the atmosphere of FarCry 2, just like I didn't in Crysis, though I found Crysis (original) to be much more enjoyable than FarCry 2. I'm tired of unilateral worlds that are only populated with those that I am trying to kill.
Three cheers for L4D, they got it right on that one. Really looking forward to the future support from Valve to furthur improve the game and add content.
Only thing about L4D that I hate is that there is no easily accessable ability/level meter to tell if someone is any good or not. One terrible player on the survivors team can totally ruin the experience, then everyone rage quits.

It seems to me that the way games are going that the move to 64-bit is needed worse than adding cores to processors. How about making the system more efficient for once instead of just running the engine harder. Ofcourse we won't, efficiency is just not the American way. boooooo
